At Singapore Changi Airport, Singapore
This is my 12th visit to this airport, and probably this is the most visited international airport in my life , till date. Each time i visit , it was my luck that i got enough transit time everytime i reached here so i utilized the Singapore round trip tour that Sinapore authorities had provided me. Singapore and Dubai airports are my most favourite airports and the most flashy ones i had seen. Changi airport staff is very helpful and the airport is maintained very well.Singapore airports are divided into several sections. Between each section sky train is provided. There are several shops of interest inside the Singapore Changi airport. There is a South Indian restaurant in the First floor of the airport. I usally doesnt fail to take some snaks from the south indian hotel.There is a shop run by Singapore airlines , which is of my interest. They sell several sundry items which is Singapore specific. Other than that lot of free internet browsing terminals are provided by the airport authorities which i found very useful , even during the transit time you can get in touch with the outside world.I had gone thru several electronic shops to buy some electronic products , but what i feel is there is no major difference compared to the prices in India. Nowadays some of the items you will find much cheaper in India.
At Seoul Incheon Airport , Incheon , Seoul , South Korea.
This is my 12 th visit to this airport. I reached from the hotel to airport thru the limousine service. City authorities had provided service of bus service from several pickup points through out seoul. Around 13000 korean wons is the ticket price , the arrangement is quite helpful. This time i stayed at Novotel Ambassador Gangnam, one of the luxruy five star hotels in Seoul. The bus comes to all the major hotels for pickup , before leaving to Airport.The airport is not as big as Changi airport , but the airport is well maintained. The departure faciltiy is a huge hall with a chormium finsh roof. Once you enter the facility on one side several small cafeteria is visibile , along with that there are several banks counter for currency exchange. Woori bank, ShinHan Bank etc are major ones.This time i was travelling with Singapore Airlines. Once you do the checkin and baggage scan you enter to a shopping area. Lot of duty free shops are seen , but most of them are little costlier.
